Synthesis method

Obtained from the ethynylation of estrone (C18H22O2, [53-16-7]): Heat toluene isobutanol, potassium hydroxide and isobutanol under reflux and azeotropic dehydration for 8 hours, add tetrahydrofuran, and heat at 25-40℃ Pour acetylene down to the required amount. Add estrone tetrahydrofuran solution and continue to pass acetylene at 5-10°C for 12 hours. Use 30% sulfuric acid to adjust the slight acidity below 40°C, and recover tetrahydrofuran under reduced pressure. Remove the residual solution by steam distillation, cool, filter, wash with water until neutral, and dry at 80°C to obtain crude ethinyl estradiol. After recrystallization from ethanol and decolorization of activated carbon, the finished product is obtained. The yield is 85%.

Purpose

This product is an estrogen drug. It has the same effect as diethylstilbestrol, but is 20 times more potent. Used in combination with progestogen-based contraceptives, it has a synergistic effect in inhibiting ovulation, can enhance contraceptive efficacy, and can reduce side effects such as breakthrough bleeding. In addition, it can also be used for menstrual disorders such as amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, menopausal syndrome and uterine hypoplasia. For preparation of contraceptive pills.
